How can decorated apparel really help sell my company or business?

There's no better way to make a great impression than with attractive shirts identifying your organization. Market research agrees: recent studies show that affiliate shirts (those bearing a club's name) are designated as "favorites" by the greatest percentage of shirt wearers than any other style of shirt. These studies also report that "favorite" shirts are, on average, worn three times per week and to places where, for males: an average of 65 people congregate; and for women: an average of 18 people gather. So, what does this mean for you? It means that each person wearing a shirt endorsing your club, product, or organization can promote or expose your name to upwards of 780 people each month. If you want people to notice your company or product, custom printed shirts/jerseys may be just what you're looking for. Just think about it. When looks are everything, there's not much that can compare to a customized jersey promoting pride in your club. And don't worry about finding room in your crowded dressers for them...they won't spend much time in there anyway. A lot of company's go through a tremendous effort to create a logo for their company that makes a statement and captures the essence of what the company stands for. Consider shirts, jackets, hats, t-shirts, etc. to be very effective advertising for your company. All of these items are miniature billboards that walk around and say hello! Your decorated items will travel the globe, and you would be surprised how effective this form of advertising really is and it's tax deductible.

Is there a minimum quantity order?

No, we gladly do single items depending on the item you choose and the method of decorating. We price our jobs according to quantity and stitch count / printing so expect to pay a bit more for one piece than for 100 pieces. The good news is that the more you order the less expensive each piece becomes.

What kind of Artwork do I need?

The best artwork you can provide us is camera-ready. This is the sharpest, crispest black and white version of the artwork, that is at the finished size. Also, include any sketches and color versions that you may have available. You should print the image on the glossiest paper stock that you've got. This is typically called "camera ready art". You may also e-mail us the image in the following formats: *.jpg, *.bmp, *.tiff, *.gif. We can also work from a variety of materials such as business cards, menus, letterheads, photocopies, drawings, garments, etc. When working from these items, we suggest that you bring in the largest possible examples of your logo or artwork, since detail may be lost when resizing, Although we have completed designs from faxes and business cards, the better quality art you provide us with will make your final product take less time and cost much less. Complexity of the design plays a role in the final cost of making the design and poor quality artwork makes the effort more complex. In extreme cases where the artwork is very poor we may need to discuss the possibility of a "graphic design charge" or "design change" to get the image ready for digitizing. Artwork provided from garments may be slightly distorted from the average stretch and shrinkage of garments. Therefore, when working with garments, we will do the best we can to come as close as possible to the original
